Also:

Spoiler:

That ship sailing away from Kidd's hideout is a Thriller Bark ship. Absalom is on it, as well as Hogback (and probably Moria).

Who do you think the 7th Shichibukai is? I'm thinking it's actually someone new........ Or I have this dread that it could be Enel.

It's probably someone new.

In the movie, Film Z, there was mention of a guy who joined the World Government recently as a Shichibukai. The guy cut off the arm of Admiral Z. (At one point, I thought it was Doflamingo, but no--it's someone new who cut off his arm then joined the Shichibukai).

A side note: Apparently that Fujitora guy Akainu mentioned is a new Admiral (there's 1 more). Fujitora's title is "Purple Tiger", which, goes with all the other titles of the Admirals.
